Tim Thomas will not be returning to the Dallas Stars for the 2013-14 campaign.

Thomas was decent, but not great in his comeback attempt in 2013-14. He ended up with a 2.88 GAA and .908 save percentage in 48 games with Florida and Dallas. He might be able to find work as a backup goaltender for the 2014-15 campaign, but at the age of 40, it wouldn't be surprising if he simply decides to hang up his skates for good.

Tim Thomas and the United States were eliminated from the 2014 World Championship in the Quarterfinals on Thursday.

Thomas posted an unimpressive 3.38 GAA and .868 save percentage in seven contests during the tournament. Given that the 40-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, it's possible that he's played in his last game. Fri, May 23, 2014 09:23:00 AM

Thomas had a 2.88 GAA and .908 save percentage in 48 games with Florida and Dallas in 2013-14. The last time he played in the World Championship was in 2008 when he posted a 1.50 GAA and .925 save percentage in three games. Fri, May 2, 2014 12:08:00 PM

Tim Thomas may have played his last game with the Stars on Sunday, but he has enjoyed his experience in Dallas.

"I've had the opportunity to experience a different role than I've had in the past, but it's been a good thing," Thomas said. "I've helped support Kari and helped support the team. It's given me the opportunity to get outside of myself, and I've enjoyed that." He will turn 40 years of age on Tuesday and can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

Jason Spezza notched a goal and two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win against Nashville.

He was placed on a line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn in the contest and the trio combined for three goals and eight points. Spezza has accumulated five goals and 14 points in 21 matches this campaign, while battling injuries and plenty of line juggling.

Jamie Benn scored a goal and two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators.

Benn opened the scoring at the 9:55 mark of the first period and it was the 200th marker of his career. He also helped set up second-period goals by Jason Spezza and Tyler Seguin. The 27-year-old has eight goals and 24 points in 28 games. Antoine Roussel and Brett Ritchie also scored for the Stars.

Sharp is on the sidelined with concussion-like symptoms for the second time this season. It's encouraging that he's feeling good enough to start skating again, but we don't want to speculate on when he might be able to return, especially given his recent history.

Antoine Roussel tallied a goal and an assist in a 5-2 victory against Nashville on Thursday night.

The multi-point performance snapped a six-game scoring skid for the pesky winger. It was also his first goal since Nov. 13. Roussel has 15 points in 28 games along with a league-leading 70 penalty minutes.

There's an 80 percent chance that Mattias Janmark will make a full recovery from his knee injury.

The Stars announced that the injury will keep him out for five to six months. The 23-year-old has Osteochondritis dissecans, which is genetic. "What happened with Mattias is he had a small segment, approximately 21 millimeters by 11 millimeters, that became displaced and is locked in his knee," Stars GM Jim Nill said. "It's the bone and the cartilage, they both came off together." Nill added that Janmark could still return to action this season.

He is projected to be sidelined for five-to-six months. Hemsky was hurt during the World Cup of Hockey and managed to play in just one game this season before he got re-injured. This timetable will keep him on the shelf for most of the 2016-17 campaign.

Patrick Eaves needed 54 games to notch 17 points last season, this time around he needed just 24.

The veteran forward picked up his eighth assist of the season during Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins. Eaves' career has really turned around since joining Dallas two seasons ago. He has more goals (30) and points (61) with Dallas in 125 games than he did with Detroit, the next longest tenure where he played nearly 200 games.

Lauri Korpikoski scored his fourth goal of the season during Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Vancouver.

He now has goals in three consecutive games, giving him six points overall in 16 games. That's a nice rate considering he's posted between 21-25 points in each of the last three seasons with the Oilers and Coyotes.

He tallied his sixth marker of the year in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Nashville, which matches the total he had in 31 games during the 2014-15 campaign. Ritchie has seven points through 21 contests this year.

John Klingberg got back in the lineup and picked up his third point in five games, with a helper in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

Klingberg now has 10 helpers and 12 points in 23 games this season. Last season, he had 171 shots in 76 games, this time around he has just 29 shots in 23 games. Suffice it to say, a few more pucks on net could be helpful.

Dan Hamhuis will be a healthy scratch in Monday's game against the St. Louis Blues.

Hamhuis is in his first year with the Stars, but he hasn't fit in as well as he would have hoped. He has no goals and five assists in 21 games this season. Curtis McKenzie and Stephen Johns will also watch from the press box.

Johnny Oduya (lower body) will not play in both halves of the Stars' back-to-back set this weekend.

Oduya will probably still return this weekend. It seems more likely that he'll play on Sunday if Stars coach Lindy Ruff doesn't want to use him to play on back-to-back days, but it's still possible that Oduya will play on Saturday and then just rest Sunday.

Lindell opened the scoring just 16 seconds into the opening period, but the Red Wings managed to score three unanswered goals with two of those coming on the power play. Tyler Seguin and Cody Eakin picked up the assists on Dallas' only goal. Lindell has two goals and two assists in 15 games this season.

Jamie Oleksiak will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Calgary Flames.

Oleksiak had played in six consecutive games, but he's now been scratched two straight games. The 24-year-old has three goals and one assist in 11 games this season. Patrik Nemeth and Jason Dickinson will also watch from the press box.

The Penguins blitzed Antti Niemi for six goals during Thursday's 6-2 defeat.

Niemi turned away 34 of 39 shots, including seven of eight on the kill. Well, it's not like he got much help as the Penguins fired 40 shots on net. The veteran netminder falls to 5-3-3 with a .902 save percentage and a 3.20 GAA.
